Synopsis by Mark Deming

In 1998, Blondie members Debbie Harry, Chris Stein, Clem Burke, and Jimmy Destri reunited to cut the group's first album in 17 years, No Exit, and launched a reunion tour that gave the band's old fans a chance to see them in action again, and showed younger listeners that New Wave's original power pop hitmakers still had plenty to offer. Blondie: Live In New York, taped at New York City's Town Hall on Feb. 10, 1999, captures the band ripping through 16 songs, including Dreaming, Heart of Glass, Hanging On The Telephone, Rapture, and X Offender, along with such No Exit highlights as Maria, Screaming Skin, and Boom Boom in the Zoom Zoom Room. Blondie: Live In New York was originally aired in edited form on VH1; this home video release features nearly 45 minutes of footage edited from the original broadcast.
